Paleontologists have identified a new species of long-legged, filter-feeding pterodactyloid pterosaur from the well-preserved specimen found in a quarry in Germany.

Balaenognathus maeuseri lived in what is now Europe during the Upper Jurassic epoch, between 157 and 145 million years ago. The flying reptile belongs to Ctenochasmatidae, a family of pterosaurs known from the limestone in Bavaria, Germany. “This pterosaur had teeth in the upper and lower jaw, which are a mirror image of each other. There are at least 480 teeth in total,” said University of Portsmouth’s Professor David Martill. “There is one…

A new research published in the open access journal PLoS-ONE has revealed previously unknown differences in the food habits of saber-toothed cats and American lions that roamed California during the late Pleistocene 30,000 to 12,000 years ago, and suggested that though the case of their extinction is still unknown, a lack of food was probably not the main reason. The saber-toothed cat Smilodon fatalis (Charles R. Knight) The saber-toothed cat (Smilodon fatalis) and American lion (Panthera atrox) were among the largest terrestrial carnivores that lived during their time, and went extinct along with other large animals approximately 12,000 years ago. Previous studies have suggested many…

A new study on the teeth of extinct sand tiger sharks Striatolamia macrota and Carcharias spp. has provided the first estimate of Eocene (50 million years ago) salinity for the western Arctic Ocean. This image shows the extant sand tiger shark Carcharias taurus. Image credit: Richard Ling / CC BY-SA 2.0. The study, published in the journal Geology, indicates that these Eocene sharks were thriving in the brackish water of the western Arctic Ocean. In contrast, modern sand tiger sharks living today in the Atlantic Ocean are very intolerant of low salinity, requiring three times the saltiness of the Eocene sharks in order to survive. “This study…

A team of paleontologists led by Dr Guan-bao Chen of Anhui Geological Museum, China, says a newly discovered fossil of a Mesozoic ichthyosaur reveals the earliest live reptile birth. 248-million-years-old fossil of the ichthyosaur Chaohusaurus. Image credit: Motani R et al. Recent excavations in south Majiashan, Anhui, China, yielded more than 80 new ichthyosaur skeletons. Among the specimens was a partial skeleton that contained embryos.

Scientists led by Ines Melendez from Curtin University have identified 70 intact steroidal compounds in a 380-million-year-old crustacean fossil from the Gogo Formation in the north of Western Australia. Researchers from Australia and Germany have identified seventy individual steroids, including stenols, steradienols, stanols, stanones, sterenes, steradienes, diasterenes, diasteranes, mono- and triaromatic steroids, in this 380-million-year-old fossil. Image credit: Ines Melendez, Curtin University’s WA Organic and Isotope Geochemistry Centre. The results demonstrate steroids can be preserved for longer through an exceptional preservation process, providing the oldest and most extensive molecular relics of the Devonian age. “The exceptional preservation of the crab-like fossil, which has…

Dinosaurs evolved a remarkable diversity of dietary adaptations throughout the Mesozoic era, but the origins of different feeding modes are uncertain. Feeding habits of early dinosaurs have mostly been inferred from comparisons of jaw morphology with living analogs. By looking at the tooth shapes of the earliest dinosaurs and simulating their tooth function with computational modeling, University of Bristol paleontologists were able to compare them to living reptiles and their diets. The findings show that many groups of plant-eating dinosaurs were ancestrally omnivorous and that the ancestors of long-necked herbivorous dinosaurs ate meat; this ability to diversify their diets early…
